In the Esprit project PODA a lot of work on ODA has been done. A
description of the work can be found in various articles.
One of the items was the definition and implementation of a C-language
library with functions to en/de-code an ODIF stream and to store and handle it
in a random access file format. As a part of this work Bull (France) have
based a PC toolkit on this work. One of the functions of this toolkit is to
format and preview ODIF streams.
This toolkit is for sale.

For more information you might contact Mrs Claude Kou at Bull
(kou@masbull.gtmy.bull.fr).
